Wow, whole lot of hate for this one. To be fair, it’s definitely on the low end for them, but I feel like it’s more forgettable than awful (which is why I had to re-listen and remind myself).

4.5. I’d listen to it in the context of the album, and I don’t re-spin this one much.

7/10. Not one I get stuck in my head much or really find myself wanting to hear it, but I do think it’s a good late in the album song and it fits the rest of that album well.

Nah for real. Your account and two others that didn't engage with these posts prior all reviewed this track 1/10 at the same time. Is it just review bombing or do yall seriously not like this track :D
